Schedule/Update 2025

Hey everybody,

It seems like we've got more than enough folks together for a book-club! We'll be starting our read on Jan 1st, with our first thread on Jan 15th at 5pm EST; subsequent threads will be on every other Wednesday.

Pp. 160-236 (Bran III--Daenerys III)

• Jan 29th–Feb 12th

• Feb 12th–Feb 26th

Pp. 324-409 (Tyrion IV--Bran V)

***Page numbers are based off of the 2011 mass-market paper-back edition; they may vary between editions. I'll try to be specific about the intended chapters in each thread.

Other stuff:

The Jimmy Neutron award: the top-voted comment of each thread will be featured in the subsequent thread for further analysis by mmmmhmmmm the high council.

Quote of the week: submit your favorite quotes [in quotation marks] and your analysis in the bi-weekly threads: the top-voted quote will be siimlarly featured in the subsequent thread.

SPOILERS: these threads will inhabit the nebulous spoiler-zone. It's like the Shadow-Realm, but worse in every way!

Moderation: I have no concept of ethics, but still--try to kep it civil.

I will judge you; we will all judge you.

The yawning abyss: try not to whinge about the show too much.

Exclamation points and semicolons: they're probably going to be over-used.
